A little perplexed and curious.

Hi Pete
I’m a bit of a physics student and appreciate the forces involved. I guess I’m asking how those with worked motors cope in the twisties if a stock motor spins up the rear. The road surface was flat and relatively new hot mix, also noting the busa carried the same line through the corner without issue so I’m discounting greasy spots.

Worked motors or stockish motors -I have both and it makes no difference it is all in how you enter the curve, not a good idea to downshift and open the throttle when leaned over, ideally you should be able to upshift then open the throttle , plus scraping the pegs a motorbike has two points of contact as in front and rear tyres you add point c (peg) then traction is lost from A or B

Don’t forget the bike didn’t break traction on its own; you caused it. Same deal with worked motors.

Well since I’m not racing a Bussa I’m pretty cautious with throttle in the turns. I usually wait till I’m coming up out before I do much with the throttle hand. There’s just to many things that could be on the road to reduce traction.

Oops forgot ---trying to compare a Buse in curves to a Rocket is like saying an Englishman is as much as a man as a Scotsman
